Betrayed! Tea Party Politicians Vote To Renew The Patriot Act As America Is Slowly Transformed Into A Big Brother Police State Worse Than George Orwell’s 1984

For a moment, imagine that you are awakened one night by a heavily-armed team of federal agents dressed in all black breaking into your home. As you confront them, they hand you a piece of paper that says that your son has been identified as a "terrorist" and that they are there to take him away. They pull your son out of bed, they throw him on the floor and the use a taser on him repeatedly. Then they handcuff him and haul him away without telling you a thing about where they are taking him. Your son suddenly has no rights because the Patriot Act supersedes the U.S. Constitution. That's right - because your son has been identified as a "terrorist" because of something that he has said on the Internet he no longer has any constitutional rights. Your underage son is held indefinitely and is subjected to "enhanced interrogation" because he has been identified as a "threat". You are not able to get your son back for years even though it turns out that he is completely and totally innocent. If you think that such a thing cannot happen to you then you are a fool, because this kind of thing is happening over and over across the United States and it is all legal because of the Patriot Act.

America is rapidly turning into a horrible Big Brother police state and most of our politicians are fully supporting this transformation. In fact, the U.S. House of Representatives gave us quite a Valentine's Day gift the other day when it voted to once again extend provisions of the Patriot Act that allow for domestic surveillance of American citizens, wire tapping of American citizens and warrantless searches of the homes of American citizens.

What was perhaps most disappointing was that a large number of "Tea Party politicians" cast votes in favor of renewing the Patriot Act provisions.

The majority of Americans were absolutely disgusted when the Bush administration instituted the Patriot Act and many other police state measures and they voted for Barack Obama hoping for something different.

Well, it turns out that Barack Obama has been even worse.

Have you been to an airport lately? Yeah, those "naked body scanners" and "enhanced pat-downs" are a lot of fun, aren't they?

Many Americans voted for Tea Party candidates during the last election hoping that they would be willing to stand up for liberty and freedom.

Well, it turns out that many of them caved when it came time to vote on the extension of Patriot Act provisions.

So is there anyone out there that we can vote for that will stand up for liberty and freedom?

The truth is that this is not a conservative issue and it is not a liberal issue.

This is an American issue.

But doesn't the Patriot Act keep us safe from terrorism?

No.

Comment: If anyone noticed the partor act doesn't protect the people, it protects the banking elites interests.

 

So they don't believe in "liberty" after all? What a shock.

 

Yeah, I'm sure everybody is shocked.

Remember how the t-party favorite Michelle Bachmann decided that she loves America so much that she registered for Swiss citizenship?

 

It never was the liberty tea party. Many of them were just a bunch of old people who finally decided to wave a flag about national debt. The roots may have been genuine, along with many of the activists, but you can never escape the masses of clueless voters and co-opting opportunistic politickers. #democracy

 

Wasn't the acronym "Taxed Enough Already"? If so then their reason for existing was apparently to get taxes reduced. The "liberty" stuff may have been an afterthought.

So how many people exactly have been taken from their homes in the middle of the night and whisked away?

I don't like the Patriot Act either but it certainly hasn't been the evil plot many think it has.

 

The title is incorrect. Just because you call yourself a Christian doesn't mean you are one. Likewise, just because you say "I'm a tea party guy" definitely doesn't even begin to mean anything. Actions speak louder than words. Tea Party is in support of small government and the constitution. The Patriot Act and NDAA are both antithetical to the constitution. What they are is neocon in Tea Party clothing. Or wolves in sheep clothing. Or fraudsters. Or traitors.
